Remington made the short shrouds from 1962 -1968. They had aluminum butt plates and a fleur de lues (SP) stamped pattern on the stock. I have several .222's, 22/250's, and a 6MM. All are near mint and I might sell on of the 22/250's. They have great triggers and shoot very well. It is hard to find a nice one for under a Grand and many are priced above that. They are getting very difficult to find and are really nice rifles.
